The Integron: Adaptation On Demand

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT The integron is a powerful system which, by capturing, stockpiling, and rearranging new functions carried by gene encoding cassettes, confers upon bacteria a rapid adaptation capability in changing environments. Chromosomally located integrons (CI) have been identified in a large number of environmental Gram-negative ...

Integrons as tools for epidemiological studies [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2004
The integron content of Gram-negative strains implicated in three distinct episodes of suspected cross-infection among inpatients was investigated and compared with ribotyping. In the first episode, ribotyping identified a strain of Acinetobacter, isolated over a 3-month period, responsible for an outbreak associated with the use of mechanical ...

Characterization of the novel In1059 harbouring VIM gene cassette

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2017
Background VIM-type enzyme encodes the most widely acquired metallo-β-lactamases in Gram- negative bacteria. To obtain current epidemiological data for integrons from enterobacteriae in hospital, the study characterizes the genetic structure in In1059 by

Resistance integrons; A Mini review.

Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2019
Integrons are a segment of dsDNA that play a major role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These genetic determinants are known by the presence of three necessary apparatuses: an integrase (intI gene), Pc (a promoter) and attI (a recombination site).

Antimicrobial resistance and class I integrons in Salmonella enterica isolates from wild boars and Bísaro pigs [PDF]

, 2011
The antibiotic resistance phenotype and genotype and the integron type were characterized in 58 Salmonellaenterica isolates recovered from Bísaro pigs and wild boars (20 S. Typhimurium, 17 S. Rissen, 14 S. Enteritidis and 7S. Havana).

Unbridled Integrons: A Matter of Host Factors

, 2022
International audienceIntegrons are powerful recombination systems found in bacteria, which act as platforms capable of capturing, stockpiling, excising and reordering mobile elements called cassettes. These dynamic genetic machineries confer a very high

Impact of Wastewater Treatment on the Prevalence of Integrons and the Genetic Diversity of Integron Gene Cassettes [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2018
ABSTRACTThe integron platform allows the acquisition, expression, and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes within gene cassettes. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain abundant resistance genes; however, knowledge about the impacts of wastewater treatment on integrons and their gene cassettes is limited.
